Hell, even though he's not as consistent, I'd strongly consider Ben Scrivens over James Reimer. When Reimer is on, he's quite good, but when he's not totally locked in, he's like Craig Anderson. I don't know, never been a big fan of his...but that doesn't make it the right answer necessarily...

Two trade requests in the past year? Who would want that? Funny how he went from unhappy on the most defensive team in the league to unhappy on the least defensive team in the league.

Apparently he's not happy because he doesn't feel he's being used correctly.

“I get no time on the ice, it’s hard to prove my ability with only ten to twelve minutes of ice time,” Erat explained. “At the beginning of the season it was only about seven minutes, and then it went up, so [Adam Oates] let me play more defense than offense.”

The list I saw had Reimer listed above Bernier with both having .934. I assumed that if someone further down the alphabet was above with the same percentage, they must be taking it out further and saying he was higher.

In just a cursory view in the past, I've never seen a rhyme or reason as to how the NHL uses tiebreakers on their stats page. It seems quite random actually. Additionally, I've never fully understood why save percentage was expressed the same way as a batting average...
